My Opinion on : Obama raising the time students spend in school.
Over the past several years, the grades in schools nationwide have been slipping. More students are being kept from walking at the end of their senior year because they have failed to many classes. Obama is planning on raising the hours that students must spend in school. however, as a student, I do not think that his plan will do anything but enrage students. The problem has never been time in school, just look at national scores from about ten years ago. The problem is is that now students and parents don't care. If obama got rid of no child left behind and gave students a better reason to graduate, they would not feel so stressed to do well and would be more likley to graduate and do well.
